losing access to brand new features, right?

And it's like, what it's going to cost Apple and or eventually probably consumers to upgrade the Neo to get access, like, Apple is creating problems for itself.

The Vergecast

And, you know, the AI squeeze is creating problems for everybody.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And it's true.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It's going to be very weird, because having just like, literally, we just watched this keynote, I couldn't tell you which features are part of which

The Vergecast

There's a very complicated, very long verge story in our future that is just explaining what happens.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

We need like a really messy flow chart of devices and features and all of the things that you can still do.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

It's going to be complicated.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And what I wonder is how many people will bite the bullet and upgrade, right?

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Because I think if you're a cynical Apple watcher, what you would say is this is just Apple forcing everybody's hand to buy new devices.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And, you know, the lifespan of these devices is getting longer.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's a threat to Apple.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

So they are basically pulling the plug on everything and forcing you to upgrade.

The Vergecast

It's particularly rough that they open the keynote with,

We finally did it.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

We took all the hardware that's like running kind of slow and we sped it up.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

By the way, this isn't available on a lot of the stuff.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

And you can't have it.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Yeah, and we should say, there are a bunch of commenters talking about this, and I think, frankly, I don't have the exact list of supported devices in my head.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

We'll figure all of this out.
